Left atrial appendage systolic forward flow

A new left atrial appendage (LAA) flow pattern characterized by the presence of an additional systolic forward flow wave after LAA relaxation is described and characterized. Further investigations are needed to elucidate the relations between flow pattern and anatomic or functional features of this...
